Using Caller ID from the control panel

Caller ID is a service provided by some telephone companies that identifies the telephone number or the name of
the person who is calling. If you subscribe to this service, it works with the printer. When you receive a fax, the
telephone number or name of the person who is sending you the fax appears on the display.
Notes:
•
Caller ID is available only in some countries and regions.
•
The number of patterns is defined by the country or region setting and only the number of patterns defined for
the selected country or region is shown.
The printer supports two distinct Caller ID patterns: Pattern 1 (FSK) and Pattern 2 (DTMF). Depending on the country
or region you live in and the telecommunications company you subscribe to, you may need to switch the pattern to
display Caller ID information.
